While not often correlated by most people, historians have noted that the advent of practical fusion power plants is the result of applied gravitic compression of the fissionable fuels. Some mass-thrusters also rely on the gravitic compression of hydrogen to a near-fusion energy level. The ability to warp space-time and induce a jump is directly related to the control and understanding of gravitics. The Terran system failed to comprehend and use gravitics for many years, which delayed the Solomani expansion.

The significance of gravitic technology is that it made space travel practical. Before its advent, space travel was possible only by using reaction drives which meant the trip from ground to orbit was the most difficult, most expensive, and by far the most dangerous part of space flight. With gravitic technology, boosting payloads into orbit became easy, economical, and the least risky portion of space travel.
